Little sisters can be a real pain. I know because I am one. I did put my older brother through the wringer sometimes. I blamed him for breaking toys, teased him about girls, and may have managed to injure him a few times. Now, we get along fairly well. Like we haven't killed each other or anything which I see as a definite plus.
In this episode, the little sister Tara is a massive brat. The episode starts off with her luring Michael into a booby trap and spraying him with fake blood. When he retaliates against her, he gets in trouble after she turns on the fake charm.

| The face of evil itself |
" I got you good, even better than I did at your party."
Spoiler alert: Tara embarrassed him in front of his crush and then tripped him so he faceplanted in his birthday cake. Did I mention she's a miserable little human being?

| I wonder what kind of cake it was. |
Dad bought a very ugly cuckoo clock which he claims is magic. He forbids both children from touching the thing because they both try and mess with it immediately.
Later on, as Michael's heading up to bed, he overhears Tara getting in trouble for touching the clock, and Dad tells her that if anything's broken- she's in big trouble.
Michael then hatches his dastardly revenge plot. He'll break something on the clock, and Tara will take the blame! It's perfect!
He sneaks downstairs after everyone has gone to bed. When the clock strikes the hour, and the cuckoo pops out, he grabs it and twists its head around.
" Try explaining that one Tara." he smirks.
The next morning rolls around and bounces down the stairs to gloat, and finds his parents setting up for his birthday. WHICH WAS THREE DAYS AGO. He thinks it's all a joke until things get seriously weird and his birthday party happens all over again. Tara embarrasses him yet again and makes him faceplant into his cake.
HE HAD HIS CHANCE AND HE BLEW IT!
He goes to bed and has this weird nightmare where the clock is chasing him...Don't ask me, I don't know how a clock can chase you,but it's something that happened.
Mike wakes up, and things get even weirder. He's suddenly six years old and living his sixth birthday party again. He ditches his party to find the cuckoo clock and almost gets kidnapped in the process. He's unable to get to the clock, and that night tells his parents goodbye because he says that he might not exist tomorrow. I feel bad for his parents. Imagine your six years old saying something that heavy to you after almost getting kidnapped.
The next morning Michael wakes up and he's like 2 years old or so, but somehow manages to convince his parents to go to the antique store where the cuckoo clock is located without being able to speak.
Despite having limited mobility and being like two feet tall, he manages to climb up on boxes and stuff and fix the cuckoo's head. In the process, he manages to knock off a number on the bottom of the clock that indicates the year 1988.
As soon as Michael fixes the cuckoo clock he's blasted back to his present 12-year-old self. His Dad comes in to make sure that he's not messing with the clock, and laments the fact that it's missing a year. Mike asks "Where's Tara?" and his dad asks him "Who's Tara?" The year that Michael knocked off the clock, 1988 was the year that Tara was born. He's somehow erased his annoying little sister from existence.
Welp.
Rating: 2/5
My biggest beef: There's probably more implications to erasing the year 1988. Like completely erasing the existence of the Jamaican bobsled team since the 1988 Calgary winter Olympics would have never happened. I do not want to live in a world where "Cool Runnings" doesn't exist.
Moral of the story: Getting revenge on your little sister can result in erasing her from existence.
